What are you planning on doing with it? I have a holley red, and you shouldn't need any more than that. It flows as much as any carb will swallow and is cheaper. Plus, you don't need a regulator with it if you run a holley carb. The blue flows a ton at a very high PSI.

I have the summit brand (they use name brand stuff and put there name on it and sell it cheaper)it's like the same as a Holley and comes with an actual Holley regulator for like 100ish shipped from summit. I have it on mine and works great.
I actually just looked and its on sale 10 bucks cheaper than when I bought mine.

Once again it depends on your carb what PSI you should run. If you are running a nikki carb then it is supposed to be like 3.5, where as a holley is like 6. I don't know about any other carb.

I would go with the 8 psi and get a regulator.
